Fimet Neo combines innovative solutions with elegant design. The treatment systems are ergonomic, high-quality units that can be customized for each user’s needs and preferences.

Comfort by Design

Modern Treatment Room Design

Many dental practices are moving away from traditional clinical environments and creating treatment spaces that feel more welcoming, comfortable, and less intimidating for patients.

Thoughtfully designed treatment rooms featuring concealed instruments, integrated equipment, and reduced visual clutter help create a calm, organized environment that promotes comfort and confidence throughout every appointment. For patients who experience dental anxiety, these design features can play an important role in reducing stress, fostering a greater sense of relaxation, and helping them feel more at ease during treatment.

By combining patient-focused design with efficient clinical functionality, modern treatment rooms can enhance both the patient experience and the overall flow of care.

Streamlining Workflow

Beyond patient comfort, ergonomic equipment design and efficient treatment room workflows play an important role in supporting clinician and staff wellbeing, workplace safety, and practice productivity. Modern treatment units are increasingly designed to integrate seamlessly with digital technologies, cordless controls, enhanced infection control protocols, and the evolving demands of contemporary dental practice.

Word-of-Mouth Referrals

By combining patient-centered design, advanced technology, and ergonomic efficiency, modern treatment rooms can enhance the overall treatment experience while helping practices improve workflow, clinical efficiency, and long-term operational performance. Thoughtful investment in treatment room design supports the delivery of high-quality care, creates a more comfortable and reassuring environment for patients, and contributes to a positive practice experience that encourages patient loyalty and word-of-mouth referrals.

Drill Power

One of the most highly valued features of any dental treatment unit is its ability to deliver consistent drill power and torque throughout every procedure. Reliable handpiece performance supports faster, more precise treatment, improved clinical outcomes, and a smoother experience for both clinicians and patients.

In Australia, where equipment servicing and repairs represent some of the highest ongoing operating costs faced by dental practices, investing in technology that maintains optimum handpiece performance while minimizing maintenance requirements can be one of the most valuable long-term decisions a practice makes.

Many traditional handpiece control systems rely on rubber diaphragms, mechanical valves, and compressed-air components that gradually wear over time. As these components age, practices may experience performance fluctuations, increased maintenance requirements, replacement parts costs, and unplanned downtime. Over the life of the equipment, the cumulative cost of servicing, repairs, and lost productivity can become a significant operational expense.

By contrast, Fimet remote-control treatment units utilize solid-state electronic controls and brushless electric micromotors with significantly fewer wear-prone components. This reliability-by-design approach helps deliver consistent handpiece power and torque, dependable clinical performance, reduced maintenance requirements, and lower lifetime ownership costs.

The result is improved efficiency, maximized equipment uptime, fewer service-related interruptions, and the confidence that handpiece performance remains consistent when it matters most. For practice owners, this can translate into lower operating costs, greater long-term value, and a stronger return on their investment over the life of the treatment unit.

WHS

The Fimet whip-arm design combined with cordless remote control allows flexible instrument positioning, assistant-side parking, and open operatory floor zones, improving safety and workflow efficiency.

Faster Turnaround

With the assistant managing instruments efficiently on their side, the clean-up process can take place seamlessly while the dentist closes up—keeping the patient largely unaware of any turnover activity. This enhances the patient experience by maintaining a calm, uninterrupted environment while maximizing operational efficiency.

State-of-the-art Technology

Integrated remote-control technology simplifies operation and helps streamline daily workflows by reducing reliance on mechanical switches and moving components. With fewer wear-prone parts, practices can benefit from enhanced reliability, reduced maintenance requirements, and consistent performance day after day.

Dr. R. Slattery

“The instruments need to be somewhere convenient so that you just move your hand to get them. This is the most ergonomic design and the least stressful for the dentist,” Dr Slattery explains. “If you have to change the focus of your eyes, [between looking at the patient’s mouth and finding the instruments] it is very tiring, especially when you see so many patients each day. With the F1 whip arm you know the instruments are always there laid out on the tray and are spring-loaded on the arm, so you pull them towards you. It is easy to use and the instruments are light weight in the hand. It really works very nicely and is positioned so the patients can’t see it. I was worried they’d be frightened by it but that’s not a problem.”

The Neo cuspidor swings open up to 45 degrees, creating additional space for the assistant and allowing easy placement of sedation, surgical, or monitoring equipment. Flexible floor box positioning in front or to the side of chair can save thousands of dollars in costly renovation expenses.

Oil-Free Treatment Chair

Fimet chairs are free from hydraulic oils/liquids which can be considered more environmentally friendly. There’s no risk of fluid spills and they typically have less impact on disposal concerns. A liquid-free system reduces the risk of contamination from leaking fluids, which could compromise the cleanliness and safety of the dental office. Overall, Fimet liquid-free dental chairs offer a combination of cost-savings, efficiency, and environmental benefits, making them a more attractive option for today’s modern dental practices.

Greater Peace of Mind

compliance speaks louder than any marketing reel

Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) regulations, dental equipment must meet high standards for safety, hygiene, and accessibility. If items such as dental chairs or treatment units are installed with exposed control cords on the floor—creating a tripping hazard—or are arranged in a way that impedes clinical workflow, this may constitute a significant issue under the ACL. In such cases, the buyer may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund, provided the issue relates to the product itself or the manner of its installation. However, if the problem arises due to the purchaser’s own planning or layout decisions, ACL protections may not apply. Suppliers, installers, and designers share responsibility for ensuring that equipment and clinical environments are safe and comply with all relevant standards and guidelines. Where issues fall within their scope of work, they may be obligated to assist in resolving them.

Disclaimer: The information provided is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice. Whether a product or installation constitutes a major failure under the Australian Consumer Law depends on the specific circumstances.
